Have you ever made an agreement with someone to provide a service or product? Then, when they deliver the service or product, you are disappointed. You ask them to make some modifications. The modifications are made, but it still seems not right. This request and modification process goes on through several tries, but you are still not satisfied. We do the same sort of thing with life. We search for something that will satisfy us, but nothing quite delivers what we need. That’s because we are looking in the wrong place for the satisfaction of our needs.
Psalm 63:1-2 says, “O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.” God created us to have an intimate relationship with Him, so close that we become desperate to always be near to Him. Nothing else will satisfy our hearts.
